Sunday morning Solitude

Ahhh Sunday morning

It’s 6am and the little ones are still asleep … the sound of silence is a welcome event here at my house. I can have coffee and read a newspaper without sound effects. I can blog, rummage through coupons and internet sites; take a few surveys for dollars over at the outpost. Ok… so I didn’t say it was totally relaxing… simply to complete a task is rewarding (-;
** speaking of rewarding I just got 30 "swagbucks" for searching on http://swagbucks.com tool bar. For each 450 I collect, I can get a free $5.00 Amazon card to use as I please. So far in the 2 weeks I've been doing this I've gotten four (4)$5.00 cards. Amazon has grown from books only to just about everything you can imagine.
*** Yikes... I forgot one sound effect. My 9 year old English bulldog Scarlett snores so loud I can hear her on the floor above me. That’s a sound I’ve come to see as a comfort though … if she is sleeping sound enough to snore… all is right in our house. If you don’t have a pet for your grandchildren (or children) I can’t convince you to get one … nor will I try. However I will tell you that Scarlett brings a lot of emotional therapy to the girls since they moved in. The loving lick or gentle nudge from a pet equates love to a child who has seen parental violence, and neglect. …. Nuff said

***Did you know Military families who shop at the commissary can use your outdated coupons for up to six (6) months? yep. So while you’re weeding out your expired coupons you never got around to using, please consider supporting our troops families.

**Salvation Army Thrift Stores are always a good place to buy clothing for children. Recently I spent $28.00 and got 6 gently worn outfits for my youngest (4) granddaughter to play in a dress that will be great for school. Also ...
